“websites have pictures”

I don’t think that’s good enough for facial rec. I thought facial recognition data uses the “dead on” image, like you’d get in a passport photo.

I’m thinking that the government gave this company the data from it’s driver’s license photos.

In addition, the ability to exclude litigants would be a “plus”. The primary use of the system is security against known threats.

So unless the company is running around collecting images from terrorist websites, they are getting it from the government.

This is the attorney's image, from their own website (and each attorney has at least one photo) - do you really think these images are not good enough to use with facial recognition? imo, they are more than good enough, and better than most passport photos.

"I’m thinking that the government gave this company the data from it’s driver’s license photos."

I don't have anything to worry about then. That's the photo that looks the least like me.

You would be surprised. Facial recognition has progressed considerably.

Here is a series of recommendations from AWS:

Note that at a higher resolution (1080p), it is possible to recognize an image as small as 50 x 50 pixels under the right conditions.
